Lipo and Breast Augmentation to Fix Asymmetry

It's finally happening - I am going to get lipo...
$10,000
It's finally happening - I am going to get lipo and breast augmentation. I am getting lipo on flanks, lower and upper abdomen, pubis mons, and just a teensy bit on the inner thighs. Why? Because the flanks and ab fat will NEVER go away (I've been skinny and working out a ton, zero change - I just look like a smaller version of my fat self). The pubis mons because my pelvis sits more forward then other ladies and it appears "bulgy" when I am thin. So embarrassing. And the inner thigh isn't particularly necessary... May not do. As for the boobs... Oh the boobs. Why the universe saw fit to make me so asymmetrical I'll never know. My boobs will be a tough job for a PS because there are several type of asymmetry: boob size, boob shape, nipple size and nipple location. As such it is very scary to think about what I may end up looking like. I am doing my best to select a qualified surgeon and thats about all I can do. I will be about 12 pounds thinner than I am now when I have the lipo in two months. The pictures here, therefore, will be boobs only for now. When I get closer I will give a bod pic so the before and afters will be realistic.

Le sigh...
From picture consults alone, it sounds like I can expect to need a full Mastopexy if I want symmetry, which I really really do. I'm bummed cuz of the scar that essentially runs down your boob from the bottom of your areola. Also more pain recovering and more $$$. Crap. Any other women here who have similar issues? Anyone whose gone through this? I want to have realistic expectations but the results seem hard to predict. Stupid asymmetrical ta-ta's.

I realize scars are a justified concern but many surgeons do such an amazing job with the incision that you can barely see the scars after a while. Be sure to look at "after" photos from your doctor's office to see how he does with lift incisions. Here is a member who had a lift and you can barely see her scar at 6 months post op. Will you be getting a few more doctor consults to see what other doctors would suggest? Keep us posted!

Thanks so much for the encouragement Beth and I will definitely meet with multiple doctors!!

Good to hear...glad I could help. Keep us posted on your research progress. In fact, here is a list of important questions to discuss during your doctor consults. If you decide to get a lift with implants, send me a PM and I can move your review into that community.

Breast aug post alone
I am going to use this review for boobies alone; I will start another for lipo. When you read this review when I am post-op, bear in mind that the pain I am experiencing is from both procedures and will thus be far greater, so if you are considering breast augmentation alone don't panic when you read about how much pain I experience. I am having sculpting lipo in several places and sub muscular implant placement. If you are considering a boob job note that below the muscle is a slower and generally more painful recovery. It is generally indicated for women who don't have a lot of breast tissue like me because you can't feel the implant as well. It will also look more natural. Of course discuss with your doc.

after hearing i needed a lift, i started searching for women similar to me who did not lift, and it seems they get a nice shape, but still droopy. I would trust your PS's advice about lifting and go for shape and look, scars will heal nicely and you'll be left with round even boobs! well worth a scar down the middle, which on many women fades significantly. good luck!!

Wow - I just checked out your review - looking fabulous! Congrats on a successful result! And I am def going for the lift on the right boob... Don't even want to think about what the result would look like without it :)
